A Weekend Out & About
On the way home, at the very top of a tree, I catch a sudden checking the side of the road glimpse of a bald eagle. There is no area to stop and take a look. Farther down Route 17, I pull into the Dead Creek boat launch lot hoping the eagle will take flight my way. The eagle did not.
Alas, the camera I had with me is my iphone 13 with a mere 5X zoom; and, a super lousy program that does not have the feature of plugging the phone into a device to upload the pictures. Photos are store in the where is it icloud on the phone. I have to email photos to myself, then open them. The sizes are always very small and blurry. Boo to Apple iphone 13.
It was surreal to hear geese in the middle of winter. I'm guessing maybe spring is closer than expected.
The warmer weather is eerie, nice but strange. Seeing sunhine so often is a blessing. It has been a slow going for me lately. Lots of laundry and blog reading to catch up on.
Have a wonderful week!
It is 3 C and sunny today. So like spring in mid winter!
ReplyDeleteMarie,
ReplyDeleteWe need the good weather with what is going on in the World.
Thank you to Nature!
It's always a pleasant surprise when we see the Bald Eagle. Such a grand bird. I look forward to your pictures when you download them. It's nice to get some Spring-like days. The sun is shining this morning, but it's still very cold here. : )

Sheri,
ReplyDeleteIt will be nice to learn how to
get the pictures out of the icloud without miniaturizing them.
Your sketch is lovely. Bald eagles abound here - they are magnificent to watch, but often so very cruel, as Nature is.
ReplyDeleteLorrie,
ReplyDeleteBald eagles are the movie stars of the sky.
Their feeding habit, though, not much fun to watch.
There are supposedly some bald eagles in our area but I have yet to see one. As for the geese, they've been on our river here all winter. The river hasn't iced over so they've stuck around.
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
ReplyDeleteThe geese here might be doing the same thing, sticking around because of the warmer weather.
Love your lake sketch. We had gorgeous blue sky yesterday -- I'd rarely seen it here in over a month, just one day or two, I think. But yesterday's was especially gorgeous. Today? Gray clouds, white sky and darkish!

ReplyDeleteWishing you blue skies more often.
